Factors Affecting Concrete Colours
1. Raw Materials Pigment – the colour component Cement Aggregates Water Admixtures
2. Processing Conditions Mixing efficiency & time Water-to-cement ratio Curing conditions
3. Curing Methods4. Weathering
Getting The Right Mix

Pigment Loadings
Typically 0.5% to 10% by weight of cement for different colour intensity Pigment saturation level generally occurs between 8-10% by weight of cement Tints and pastels require lower pigment loading Brighter colours require higher pigment loading Tints, pastels and bright colours require white cement & lighter/whiter aggregate Raw

Colours of the Cement
Different type / colour of cements give different concrete colors “Lighter the cement colour shade, the brighter & cleaner the concrete colour results”

Types of Aggregates
Coarse aggregates : gravel, crushed stone, pumice, or limestone
Fine aggregates : silica sand, crushed rock, blended stone sand

Effects of Aggregate on Concrete Colours
Different type/colour of aggregate give different concrete colours

Effect of Water-Cement Ratio
Different water-cement ratio give different concrete colors
“The higher the water-cement ratio, the lighter the concrete appears”

Effect of Admixtures on Concrete Colours
Air-Entrainer for Durability normally makes colour slightly lighter
Accelerator to accelerate set time and strength development normally makes colour slightly darker
Interactions between admixtures Different water-cement ratio give different concrete colors

Concrete Design Mixes
Typical Design Mix for Concrete Paving & Walling Blocks
Well graded aggregate comprising : 4-6mm Gravel or Crushed Stone 33% Sand 67% Aggregate to Cement ratio 5-6 : 1 Pigment loading on weight of cement 2-5% Water to Cement ratio 0.35 – 0.40 : 1

Process Conditions
Mixing Time Introduction of pigments should always be at the same time in the batching sequence Pigments should be mixed at a constant specific time from batch-to-batch When using lightweight aggregates a pre-wet should be employed before introducing
pigments (and cement) “Longer mixing time, generally the brighter the colour result”

17
Process Conditions
Water-to-cement Ratio Higher water/cement ratio, the lighter the colour result Lower water/cement ratio, the darker the colour result Higher water/cement ratio, the higher chance of
efflorescence due to excess water in the mix Water-to-cement ratio affects strength and colour results

18
Process Conditions
Curing: A balance of time and temperature The higher the temperature, the smaller the silicate crystals, the
lighter the colour result The higher steam pressure, the lighter the colour result The shorter pre-set time, the lighter the colour result

Effects of Weathering on Concrete Colours
Efflorescence (white deposit) Primary or Secondary Temporary Does not affect product performance Proper cleaning methods Generally disappears over time Does not affect strength or durability

Efflorescence Control
Use low free-lime cement (BS standard on CaO content 3%, acceptable 4% max) Right design mix to produce watertight concrete Use water washed aggregates to reduce free lime content Thoroughly compacting the mix Proper curing - good circulation, consistent temperature... Store coloured concrete products under shades / covers to reduce rate of water
evaporation Add waterproofing admixture or sealant
